Description
Literary Nonfiction. Ron Riekki's POSTTRAUMATIC is at turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, profound and absurd, filled with acerbic wit and a sense of childlike innocence. Drawing on Riekki's experience in the military, as an EMT, as an actor, his time at a marketing firm in China, and much, much more, the essays contained in POSTTRAUMATIC are at times hard to believe, but are never short of brutally honest.
